In the tracks of the historicist movement: Re-assessing the Carnap-Kuhn connection (1993)

unapi

Description “Thirty years after the publication of Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, sharp disagreement persists concerning the implications of Kuhn's `historicist' challenge to empiricism. I discuss the historicist movement over the past thirty years, and the extent to which the discourse between two branches of the historical school has been influenced by tacit assumptions shared with Rudolf Carnap's empiricism.” From the abstract.
